Market Roundup: February 4, 2026
Traders,
We’re effectively flat this week on the markets and today we had some data that saw a brief sell-off only to be saved at prior low of day.
We’ve been stuck in a trading range at these highs on $SPY ( ▼ 0.02% ) and I am still bearish most of this price action here as underlying names perform.
The strong jobs data (payrolls rose more than forecasted) boosted yields slightly and cooled rate-cut expectations, leading to some early gains that reversed as the day progressed.
Rotational trading continued: Energy led gains (crude oil climbing), value stocks outperformed growth, and sectors like communications services, consumer discretionary, and financials lagged.
One of those names was $EOG ( ▲ 4.9% ) and $GNRC ( ▲ 17.93% ) which were flagged in the PDF report over the weekend.
Just some quick notes in the Roundup tonight to get through plus a post-earnings idea in a brokerage stock that I am stalking into the end of the trading week.
